Eat Your Own

.‘Liberal’ Media

“Say
what? The liberal mainstream media has it in for liberal politicians? The
answer to that question, I would argue, is an unambiguous ‘yes.’

for their alleged liberal bias — than to make life miserable for their supposed
allies on the left. Not only do they think it might give their critics pause,
but it also feeds into their own sense of even-handedness.”
